Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the short story ‘Lawyer Kraykowski’s Dancer’ from Witold Gombrowicz’s debut collection ‘Memoirs from a Time of Immaturity’ (later published under the title Bakakaj or Bacacay in the English translation). Warkocki reads this collection as a ‘memoir of negative affects;’ with the opening story being a story about shame. Drawing on Silvan Tomkins and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick; Warkocki suggests that shame is an affect that interpellates the identity of the outcast and the misfit. Thus the short story represents a particular instance of queer performativity.
